Steven,Welcome and you came to the right spot if you want to learn about Investing.Good luck and have fun.

I think Port Richmond is another good spot for buy and hold investing.

Spot on.

It is right by Clear Lake (brackish lake that feeds into the GoM) and Pasadena, Texas is less than 15 minutes away (where all the refineries are).I think it's the perfect spot for a condo that I can use as a corporate rental or vacation rental.My biggest concern is working away.

Some of the wooden  spots would need to be repaired by seller for it to be approved for FHA loan.  

One item on the estimate is to replace 200 sqft of carpet (in a 2400+sqft house) in various spot of the house for $3200!

I am co-chair of my planning board, here you cannot "spot zone" properties, meaning you cannot change a zone to meet your needs to R10 when it is surrounded by R20.

BUT bandit signs out here are a totally different game then Tampa, for the most part they last a few days and I have a few spots I've even gotten a few weeks.
